Ryerson Station State Park is a 1,164-acre (471 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Richhill Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania in the United States. It was previously home to Ronald J. Duke Lake, a 52-acre (21 ha) artificial lake on the North Fork of the Dunkard Fork of Wheeling Creek, that was constructed in 1960, but drained in 2005 due to structural concerns about the dam. Ryerson Station State Park is 3 miles (5 km) from Wind Ridge just off Pennsylvania Route 21 very close to the West Virginia state line.
The park is named for Fort Ryerson. This fort was constructed by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1792 as a refuge from the raids of the local Native Americans who were resisting the settlement of the Ohio River Valley by the United States. Ownership of the land in this part of Pennsylvania was disputed among several parties including Virginia, Pennsylvania and the Native Americans.The state acquired the land in 1958. Duke Lake was completed with the construction of a dam in 1960 and finally the park was opened in 1967.

Forestry Minister Michelle O'Neill has launched a new Tree Safety Management Practice Guide aimed at maintaining a safe environment for visitors to Forest Service woodland.
Publishing the document Minister O'Neill said: "Our forests are a vital community resource and recent research has indicated that there are approximately 4.7 million visits to Forest Service woodlands annually.
"We are publishing the Tree Safety Management Guide because we want to keep forest visitors informed about how they may be affected by our tree safety management activity. It is also a useful source of advice to other forest owners and managers with similar obligations."
The Minister added that tree safety management does not seek to eliminate risk but to reduce it to an acceptable level.
She said: "People enjoy trees in what they regard as 'natural' or 'unmanaged' places and will accept a degree of risk because of the value they bestow and the pleasure they derive from visiting or participating in leisure activities in our woodlands."


text: Individual farmers subjectively perceive the attributes of green agricultural innovations and their subsequent benefits. Qualifying this knowledge is important, but past efforts have largely been unsystematic. This systematic study assesses the structure of perceived attributes of sustainable agricultural practices. Through a survey of Malaysian vegetable farmers, the results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate that the most robust structure consists of four attributes. The four important attributes are relative advantage, compatibility, complexity and trialability. Among them, measures are required to link non-economic benefits to profitability to the attribute of relative advantage. Our work represents a guide to assist change agents to evaluate farmer perceptions at different locations systematically. This structured method will help effectively to design and promote sustainable agriculture and other green agricultural innovations.

The Tiger Who Came To Tea Memory Card Game
The classic game of pairs with a twist.
To start shuffle the cards and place face down on a large surface. The youngest player goes first and turns over two cards and shows the other players what's on them. If it's a matching pair they keep them, if not the cards are turned back over in their original place. Play continues to the next person on the player's left. The key to success is remembering where the different cards are so you can select a matching pair when it's your turn. Here's the twist - if a player picks up a card with Dad walking in the door shouting 'I'm Home', the player shouts 'I'm Home' and all the cards have to be shuffled around so no-one knows where each of the cards are.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea Memory Card Game features 54 jumbo cards beautifully illustrated with scenes from Judith Kerr's classic children's storybook.
Not Suitable for children under 3 years.

NuGet Package NServiceBus (7.2 - 7.3)
Child containers are a snapshot of the main container providing an additional instance lifetime scope.
Child container scope in NServiceBus
NServiceBus creates a child container for each transport message that is received. During message processing, all InstancePerUnitOfWork scoped instances that are created are resolved as singletons within the context of the same message. This is helpful to support the sharing of database sessions and other resources with lifetimes specific to the processed message.
Objects can be configured in a child container scope using the InstancePerUnitOfWork lifetime:

Deterministic disposal
Child containers automatically dispose all IDisposable instances created with InstancePerUnitOfWork lifetime once the message is processed. This is useful for managing things like database sessions which must be disposed of properly.

The NOTIFY and LISTEN commands work together to create a system for PostgreSQL components to communicate between themselves. Use the LISTEN command to start the backend process listening for a notification named name. Notifications are passed by the NOTIFY command, which is usually placed in rules related to changes of various database components; in this way, notifications are sent out to listeners when things are changed.
All running backend processes that are listening for a specific notification are sent that notification when a NOTIFY command is issued for it by any of the processes. When a backend process receives a notification, that notification is sent to the client application (such as psql), which then handles the notification in whatever manner it is written for. For more information about this method of IPC (inter-process communication), see NOTIFY."
You can use any valid string no longer than 31 characters for the name of the notification to listen for (this is also true for the NOTIFY command). To stop a backend process from listening for notifications, use the UNLISTEN command.
The following example configures and executes a listen/notify sequence from psql:
booktown=# LISTEN publisher_update;
booktown=# NOTIFY publisher_update;
Asynchronous NOTIFY 'publisher_update' from backend with pid '16864' received.

SYS(2010) - CONFIG.SYS File Settings
Returns the files setting in CONFIG.SYS.
SYS(2010)
Return Values
Character
Remarks
In FoxPro for MS-DOS, SYS(2010) returns as a character string the files setting in your CONFIG.SYS configuration file.
In Visual FoxPro, SYS(2010) always returns 255.
Most Config.sys files contain a line specifying the maximum number of files that can be opened at the same time under MS-DOS. This line usually reads FILES=NNN, where NNN is a number. SYS(2010) returns this number.
A Config.sys configuration file doesn't have to have a files setting; furthermore, you need not have a Config.sys file. SYS(2010) returns the default MS-DOS files setting in either case.
The number returned by SYS(2010) isn't the number of files you can open in Visual FoxPro, FoxPro for Windows, and FoxPro for MS-DOS. MS-DOS opens files for its own use. Visual FoxPro and FoxPro for Windows also open files for their own internal use, and the number of these open files can vary throughout a FoxPro session. The files setting in your Config.sys file must be somewhat greater than the number of files you would like to open in Visual FoxPro.
For more information on the Config.sys configuration file, see your MS-DOS manual.

Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls (SRFRs)
What are Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls?
Site engineers, consultants, regulatory agencies, earthwork and seeding contractors, and other professionals within the construction industry often are faced with challenges posed by land, nature and weather. Special care must be taken to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation in receiving waters.
Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls (SRFRs) can help provide this special care. SRFRs are also known as "wattles." SRFRs slow and spread runoff, reducing sediment entering retention ponds, lakes and other water bodies.
The Erosion Control Technology Council's approved definition of a sediment retention fiber roll is:A sediment retention fiber roll is a manufactured 3-dimensional device of a specified filler material encapsulated within a flexible containment material utilized in sediment and flow control applications.

BeritaBali.com reports that Bali's Environmental Protection Agency (BLH) has recorded salt water intrusion into the ground water supply at distances between 39 and 330 meters from the shore line. The BLH is blaming this development on the high usage of ground water, particularly by the hotel sector.
The worst affected areas are in Sanur, Kuta, Candi Dasa and Nusa Dua. Meanwhile, the use of ground water in Denpasar is now approaching 3 million cubic meters per month.
The head of the technical laboratory division of BLH, Gede Surjana, said he is concerned by the degree of salt water intrusion into Bali's water supply and the level of salinity measured in ground water samples. He further warned that if something is not done soon to limit the over-use of ground water, Bali will face a clean water crisis by 2020.
He estimates the maximum permissible use of ground water for all of Bali stands as 300 million cubic meters per year.

setActionButton
setActionButton(string $label, string $cssClassIcon,callable $urlCallback[, boolean $newTab])
setActionButton is used when we need to add extra action buttons to the rows of the datagrid. The functionality is simple and it takes the below arguments:
 1. label is the label that the button will have. For example "Photos"
 2. cssClassIcon is css that the icon at the left will have. You can use the default CSS from font-awesome but you can also use your own. For example "fa fa-image"
 3. urlCallback is the callback that it will be called in every row so you can get the custom URL that the button will have. Have in mind that this will redirect you to another page
 4. newTab is a boolean (true or false). The default value is false. This is used in case you need to open the link in new tab
You can see an example of the setActionButton below:
$crud->setActionButton('Avatar', 'fa fa-user', function ($row) {
 return '/view_avatar/' . $row->url;
}, true);
A full working example can be found below:
$crud->setTable('employees');
$crud->setSubject('Employee', 'Employees');
$crud->setRelation('officeCode','offices','city');
$crud->displayAs('officeCode','City');
$crud->unsetDelete();
$crud->setActionButton('Avatar', 'fa fa-user', function ($row) {
 return '#/avatar/' . $row->employeeNumber;
}, false);
You can see the result of the above code here. In order to see the functionality of the action buttons, press the More button in any of the rows.

Humanistic Spirit and Scholarship Value of Ancient Chinese Scholars
Download as PDF
The humanistic spirit of ancient Chinese scholars can also be understood as the spirit of learning. It is said in "The Note of Learning" that " If jade is not polished, it cannot become a thing of use. If a man does not learn, he cannot know his duty." It shows that what ancient people advocated in the underdeveloped natural science and social science was still a learning spirit of reading changes life. There are very few serious scholars. Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Mohism all embodied the idea of "people-centered", they think of man as the center of the universe or take man as a small universe. To a certain extent, this kind of philosophy has influenced ancient Chinese scholars to pursue the maximization of human value, and has also beautified the energy of human being as the center of the universe. It has also played an important role in the formation of humanistic spirit, such as "The Theory of Zhouyi", "Analects of Confucius", "The Book of History" and "Filial Piety", thereby embodying this humanistic spirit into scholarship value. This paper discusses the origin of humanities, the formation of humanistic spirit and the embodiment of the value of ancient scholarship.

Why is it called a sledgehammer?
All the hammers have self-explanatory names - toffee hammer, nail hammer, claw hammer, club hammer - but why is a sledgehammer so called?
Dave, London
** Joint Definitive **
Name: Barry, Battersea
Qualification: Comes from a family of shipbuilders
Answer: I originally come from Jarrow, on the River Tyne and a lot of my family work in shipbuilding. The timber racking that held the boat upright before it reached the river was called a sledge. Inside the timber were big oak wedges, which needed to be knocked out to launch the boat. These were hit with a big hammer, which was then called a sledgehammer.
** Joint Definitive **
Name: Marcus
Answer: When they build big boats, they build them on big sledges that go down into the sea. They are chocced up to make sure they don't slide into the sea and they knock those big chocs out with hammers, which are called sledgehammers.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
Just a quick question I have the following system: $$\frac{dx}{dt}=x\left(2-x-\frac{y}{1+x}\right),\qquad \frac{dy}{dt}=3y\left(\frac{x}{1+x}-4y\right)$$ It asks which variable represents the predator and which the prey, write down the long term size of the prey in the absence of predators.
I approached this by considering that $\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{y(3x-12y-12yx)}{x(2+x-x^{2}-y)}$, hence when y=o we have that $\frac{dy}{dx}$=0 and therefore we have that our predator is represented by $\frac{dx}{dt}$ and prey by $\frac{dy}{dt}$. Additionally in the absence of prey our prey will tend to $\infty$.
Many thanks in advance.

If $x(0)=0$ and $y(0)\gt0$, then $x(t)=0$ for every $t$ and $y(t)\to0$ when $t\to\infty$. If $x(0)\gt0$ and $y(0)=0$, then $y(t)=0$ for every $t$ and $x(t)\to2$ when $t\to\infty$. Hence $x(t)$ describes the amount of preys (which can survive without predators) and $y(t)$ describes the amount of predators (which die out without preys).
To show that $x(t)\to2$ when $t\to\infty$ when $y(0)=0$, one can use a phase diagram: since $x'(t)=x(t)(2-x(t))$, the function $t\mapsto x(t)$ decreases at times $t$ such that $x(t)\gt2$ and increases at times $t$ such that $0\lt x(t)\lt2$.

Note that the amount of preys does not grow to infinity in the absence of predators, rather it converges to 2. – Did Oct 20 '12 at 13:54

Nonlinear Rayleigh waves propagating in a substrate coated with a thin elastic film are studied numerically. The evolution model consists of the nonlinear spectral equations of Zabolotskaya [J.

Both loading and stiffening films are considered. Computations are performed for nonlinear evolution of an initially sinusoidal Rayleigh wave under three distinct dispersion regimes corresponding to different film thicknesses. The validity of the evolution model is also examined.

Import collection from JSON and convert _Id from String to ObjectId
Magnus Berggren shared this question 23 months ago
Answered
Hi, I'm trying to import a collection from a JSON text file.
The problem is that the _id does not have a specific type in the JSON, and gets imported as a normal string. However, I need it to be an ObjectId. Is there a way to configure the import to automatically assign a desired type, or is there a query I could run afterwards to make the conversion?

blandish was our Word of the Day on 07/19/2014. Hear the podcast!
Examples of blandish in a sentence
 1. blandished her into doing their work for them by complimenting her shamelessly
Did You Know?
The word blandish has been a part of the English language since at least the 14th century with virtually no change in its meaning. It ultimately derives from blandus, a Latin word meaning "mild" or "flattering." One of the earliest known uses of blandish can be found in the sacred writings of Richard Rolle de Hampole, an English hermit and mystic, who cautioned against "the dragon that blandishes with the head and smites with the tail." Although blandish might not exactly be suggestive of dullness, it was the "mild" sense of blandus that gave us our adjective bland, which has a lesser-known sense meaning "smooth and soothing in manner or quality."
Origin and Etymology of blandish
Middle English, from Anglo-French blandiss-, stem of blandir, from Latin blandiri, from blandus mild, flattering

There are two situations:
- Your document and XPage are in the same database;
- Your Xpages are in a different database to your documents.
2. The ability to separate the code from the data is a strength of XPages. But it is then no longer possible to set the property on a document's form when the XPage is not in the same database. We need to send a link using mime, as you would have done in earlier versions of Notes. Here is the SSJS version:
var body = memo.createMIMEEntity();
var stream = session.createStream();
var info = ;
body.setContentFromText(stream, "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1", 0);
In this case we simply want the email recipient to see a message about their role in the workflow, followed by a hotlink (Open Link) to open the appropriate document:
var info = msg + "Open Link";
Application scope variables define the url of the server where the XPage is located and another to define the common name of the server where the database that contains the document is located. You can see that the link is to the XPage, xProposal.xsp, with the parameter, databaseName, defining the server and database, then the documentId parameter defining the document's universal id. The action parameter determines whether to open in read mode or edit mode.
You do need to apply Fixpack 2 to your 8.5.2 Domino servers if you wish to store your XPages in a datatbase that is in a different directory to the databases containing your documents and then be able to access this from the Notes client.

Compared to the swords of other countries, Japanese katanas have a slim and elegant appearance, which gives them an image of lightness and weightlessness. We see brilliant katana wielding in period wars, but how heavy is a real Japanese katana? Katanas are quite heavy because they are weapons from a time before the advent of light metals. Let's take a closer look at the weight of Japanese katanas and the differences in the way they feel when held in the hand.
How much does a katana weigh?
During the Edo period, warriors carried two Japanese swords at their waist, one Uchinata and the other Wakizashi. At that time, there were no means of transportation, and it was normal to walk several dozen kilometers.
So, what load did they really carry? We will explain it to you based on the weight of a Japanese sword.
The average weight is about 3.2lbs
The Japanese katana, a long thin blade, is made by repeatedly bending and forging a very pure metal called tamahagane.
The original material is high quality iron sand, which is then melted down in the traditional Japanese tatara method to produce tamahagane, the core material of the Japanese sword. The smith strikes the steel repeatedly to stretch it, then laminates it to create a denser sword.
The inside of a Japanese sword is therefore not a solid object, but is made of many thin layers of steel, and despite its thin appearance, the sword is very heavy.
To carry a Japanese sword, a number of parts are needed, including the scabbard and the hilt (tsuka: the handle of a Japanese sword) in addition to the sword itself (toshin: the drawn blade). The average weight of a sword with only the hilt and the tsuba attached to the blade was about 3.2lbs, with the heaviest swords weighing about 5lbs. Considering that they moved on foot, it would have taken considerable strength to carry a Japanese sword around the waist on a daily basis.
Changes in time and weight of Japanese swords
The koto (ancient sword) is a Japanese sword made during a period of about 700 years, from the middle of the Heian period after 901 to 1595, just before the Edo period (_PHONE_). The forging method used for koto is different from that used for shin-to (new swords), but the details of the technique are not known.
From the middle of the Heian period to the Muromachi period (_PHONE_), when the ancient katana was mainly used in horseback fighting, it had to be practical and easy to handle when wearing armor. To be able to cut and break through highly defensive armor, Japanese katanas had to be strong, but at the same time heavy and practical enough to be handled easily.
A typical ancient sword measures about 2 shaku 3 sun (about 27.5") and weighs between 5.1 oz and. 8.7 oz However, during the Nanbokucho period (_PHONE_), Japanese long swords became popular and many "otachi" (big swords) with a blade longer than 3 shaku (about 35.4") were made, and the weight of these swords increased. For example, the "Taro-Tachi" (sword with handle) in the collection of Atsuta Shrine in Aichi Prefecture is over 7 shaku 3 sun (87") long and weighs 9lbs.
Since the end of the Muromachi period (_PHONE_), the length of ancient katanas has gradually decreased as the traditional long, deeply curved and graceful style has been replaced by a more practical style.
In addition, many Japanese katanas were consumed by war. Therefore, it is believed that only about 30-40% of existing katanas are ancient.
Weight of new katanas
Shintō refers to Japanese swords made between the end of the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the mid-Edo period in 1763 (Horeki 13). When fighting ceased in the Edo period, the Japanese katana changed from a weapon to a symbolic object representing samurai status.
Until then, the Japanese katana was a necessity for protection and could be owned by anyone regardless of status, but due to the sword hunting ordinance, only samurai were allowed to own a katana. During the Edo period (_PHONE_), katana smiths began to congregate in large cities such as Edo and Osaka because of the stable supply of high quality materials.
Many of the katanas that survive today are new katanas made during these periods, with an average weight of about 2lbs. In the Edo period, the length of a Japanese sword (josun: the length of a sword a samurai could carry) was fixed by the shogunate, even for those who had a sword belt, and was limited to 2 shaku 3 sun 5 min (about 28").
In addition, Japanese katanas were rarely used in real battles, so the demand for katanas of good appearance and elegant workmanship increased. The importance of the Japanese katana changed from a weapon used in battle to a symbol of authority and a work of art, and the importance of the katana changed from a consumer item to an heirloom item. For this reason, many Japanese katanas from the Shintō period remain in good condition.
The katanas of the Shintō period, made when there were no major battles, were heavier than the katanas of the suekōtō period, the Warring States period. It was also said that the new katanas had lost some of the flexibility of the old ones and were more prone to breakage because of the uniform carbon content throughout the blade, due to the nationwide distribution of homogeneous domestic iron. The general opinion was that the need to compensate for strength was also a factor in why the new katanas weighed more than the shorter, easier-to-handle katanas of the Late Antique Warring States period.
Weight of Japanese katanas after Shinto
As the demand for new Japanese katanas decreased and blacksmiths in various regions declined, a movement to return to the old katanas developed, with master blacksmith "Suishinshi Masahide" advocating a "sword restoration theory".
This movement led to the emergence of shinsatoh, which produced powerful and dynamic Japanese swords in the style of Soshu-den and Bizen-den.
During the upheavals of the late Edo period, "kinouto", long and heavy swords with little deformability, became popular, and thin and short swords also appeared, which were easy to handle and could be used with Western-style clothing. As a result, Japanese katanas were made in a wide range of weights, from 8.7oz to 3lbs.
Japanese katanas made after the abolition of the sword law were called modern katanas (gendaito), and many were used in wars against other countries.
Do Japanese katanas differ in terms of actual weight and felt weight when held?
The weight felt differs according to the position of the center of gravity of the katana
Even Japanese katanas of the same weight can feel lighter or heavier when you hold several katanas in your hands. The following is an explanation of the felt weight due to the differences in the construction of Japanese swords.
The felt weight differs depending on the position of the center of gravity.
Depending on whether the center of gravity of the katana is located closer to the hilt or the spearhead/kisaki, a Japanese katana of the same weight may feel heavier or lighter. The Japanese katana is long and thin, and the length of the hilt varies depending on the brand of katana, so balance is determined by the position of the hilt.
However, there is a limit to how much balance you can give the katana just by the way you grip it. So just as the load you feel is different depending on where you hold a long stick, the position of the center of gravity of the katana itself has an effect on the weight you feel.
The center of gravity of each katana varies depending on its construction. So when selecting a katana to use in combat, we had to confirm not only simple measurements, but also the feel of actually holding and using the katana. The weight of the katana was an important criterion in selecting a katana that would be used in everyday life.
The weight one feels differs according to the length of the katana.
It is not only the position of the center of gravity that determines the perceived weight. The weight you feel also depends on the length of the katana. If you compare two Japanese katanas of almost the same weight but different lengths, the longer katana will feel heavier than the shorter one.
If the balance between length and weight does not suit you, the katana will feel heavier and more difficult to handle than it really is. The tsuba is also an important accessory for adjusting the center of gravity and length of the katana. Depending on where the tsuba is placed on the shaft, the center of gravity and the length of the handle will change.
It is said that even a Japanese katana of the same weight will feel completely different in use if the length of the sword is slightly different. The ease of handling a Japanese sword can be altered by the slightest difference in the shape of the sword.
The "Center of gravity of the hand" to reduce the perceived weight of the katana
The "hand center of gravity" means that the center of gravity is literally closer to the hilt. A Japanese katana whose center of gravity is at the hilt feels lighter than a katana whose center of gravity is in the spearhead (kirigaki), which gives you more freedom and makes it

A Review of Team Psychological Capital Research
Download as PDF
Suqin Shen, and Hui Tian
Team psychological capital reflects the consistency level of individual psychological capital. It is a collective positive psychological state formed by team members in coordination and interaction, and a collection of positive psychological capabilities that promote team development. This paper defines the connotation of team psychological capital through the study of related literature, and introduces the structure of team psychological capital: common vision, team effectiveness, team resilience, team optimism, and team belonging. Three measurement methods of team psychological capital are proposed: individual psychological capital sum method, individual evaluation average method, and overall discussion method. On this basis, this paper analyzes the antecedent and outcome variables of team psychological capital from the level of individual variables and organizational variables. Based on the theory of social infection and cognitive convergence, the formation mechanism of team psychological capital is analyzed, and the development and management measures of team psychological capital are finally put forward.

Odd behavior when importing contacts from Excel
V
Vic49
I had to export my complete contacts folder (1400+ contacts) from Outlook
2007 to an Excel spread sheet to correct the phone numbers to a consistent
format of "(###) ###-#### x####". When I imported the complete data set, any
of the phone numbers that were more than 10 digits "(###) ###-####" (i.e that
had an extension associated with them) were not imported with the rest of the
contact data. However, when I retried the import and only used a small
subset of contacts (12), all the phone number fields were imported correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

#1 - Did you use the exact same worksheet to import both the complete and
<subset> data? (i.e. using a different named range on import)
#2 - If different worksheets - is the phone number column defined the same
for both (column formatting - i.e. text versus number or general)?
#3 - For the <complete> list - what is the first <row#> that contains an
extension versus just (###) ###-#### or to ask this another way - how may
phone numbers in the first 10-20 or so rows contain an extension in the form
of ( x###) after the phone number?
#4 - If you save your complete list as a CSV file and import that file
instead - do you still have the same issue? (would be very surprised if the
answer was <yes>)

Karl,
Thanks for your response Below are my answers
#1 - No, I used a different WKS, But insured they both were formatted
identical
#2 - Yes, they were formatted identical.
#3 - The 1st 207 row did not contain an extension (x####), the 208th did. I
tried moving a couple of the contact rows w/ an extension to the top of the
spread sheet and it didn't make a difference, the # ph 3s w/ an ext were not
imported.
#4 - I tried saving as a CSV and importing with the same results.
Thanks again for your assistance

Karl Timmermans
Out of curiousity, you did verify that the "phone extension" was actually
included in the CSV file, correct?
Given that you are encountering the same issue with both the Excel and CSV
file, feel free to send a sample Excel file that exhibits the behaviour to
"cgsupport AT contactgenie.com" (referencing that you were referred by me
from the newsgroup) - would like to see what kind of issue this involves
given that importing is something that is more than a passing interest.
Anything submitted to us automatically falls under this NDA -
_URL_ Without being able to test the
actual data - impossible to provide anything but guesswork especially since
the issue should have been resolved when importing the CSV file via Outlook
unless there is something really simple that I've overlooked.
If you send the sample dataset - tests will be run with both Outlook and our
own products using both Excel and CSV to see what happens. For those that
may be following this - will post the findings here as well when done.

Let me verify that the ph # ext was included in the CSV. Thank for you
offer to review my file. One question: What is the relationship b/t Claxton
and Microsoft? Do you develop the contact import program and OEM's it to MS?

Eurika! I tried it again using a .csv and this time it worked. When brings
up the question of why didn't it work with an xls file?

Suspect that the reason that it did not work from the Excel file is that
when importing an Excel file, the first "n" number of rows are scanned to
determine column field types (forget exactly how many but if memory serves
me correctly - it's somewhere between 10-25 which is why I originally asked
the question). If the data outside that range doesn't conform - things don't
work according to plan (US Zip Codes is another field that many find to be a
headache). That may or may not have been the cause of your problem but at
the very least - suspect if not the absolute cause - very closely related.
Similarly on export - you will have the lead "'" (apostrophe) in the Excel
columns which you don't get if exporting to CSV and then opening the CSV
file in Excel etc etc etc
Particuarly for casual Excel users whose primary goal/interest is in getting
a "task" done versus learning Excel idiosyncracies or dealing with "Named
Ranges" (a simple thing for those who are familiar with NR's but a nightmare
for far too many others) - advice would be to save any worksheet as a CSV
file and import that instead (similarly, export to CSV and open that file in
Excel). Other benefits to that approach besides potentially not wasting a
lot of unnecessary time - the Excel file format is irrelevant and data is
always consistent. I love Excel but in this case, the CSV approach is just
easier/faster/better/more reliable way to get to the same result IMHO. (To
be accurate, most of the things mentioned don't stem from Excel itself but
rather from the Excel <file driver> used to read/create Excel data).

Garage door openers
While cleaning my garage, I found a garage-door opener that I had replaced several years ago and naturally saved it thinking that someday I would try to figure out why it stopped working. So I started wondering about the history of garage-door openers. Who was the ingenious person who figured that out? We are all spoiled by this convenience, but it sure is nice.
The garage door follows the history of the automobile. Early on there were parking garages not at the house, or a carriage house was used. But folks did not want to walk to the parking garage or put their brand new automobile in with their horses. As a result a building similar to the carriage house was built to house their new cars. The name garage comes from the French word "garer" which means to shelter or protect. Naturally these buildings needed doors, so they were originally built like barn doors and strap hinges were used for the doors and opened outward. The disadvantage of this type of door was that they were difficult to open. Also, after a snowstorm, the snow had to be shoveled out of the way first. A better way was needed.
In 1921, C. G. Johnson invented the first overhead door. This door could be lifted upward, folding parallel to the garage ceiling. Five years later, in 1926, Mr. Johnson also invented the electric automatic garage-door opener.
The first garage doors that I remember were very heavy wooden doors that required heavy counter-balance. As time went along, lighter materials were used. Our garage has doors of translucent fiberglass. The doors are very light and were installed almost 40 years ago.
Now most of the doors are better insulated to keep the garage warmer, and we have remote control so the door can be opened from the comfort of our home or car. They also have more safety features. Just be sure the electric eye is not hindered by a leaf or cobweb to make the door go back up. That has happened to us a few times.

A Relation Taxonomy Creation Module
C.R. Kothari and D.J. Russomanno (USA)
Semantic Web, Ontologies, Relations, Taxonomies
This paper describes the functionality and architecture of the Relation Taxonomy Module (RTM). RTM taxonomically arranges ontology specific relations using relation element values, which describe their intrinsic nature. RTM works in collaboration with the Relation Semantics Prototype (RSEP), which interactively elicits values for relation elements from knowledge providers to describe relations defined within ontologies. RTM generates the relation taxonomies using a technique that is analogous in some ways to using attributes of objects to arrange them taxonomically via the attribute exploration method. Ontology specific relation taxonomies may facilitate knowledge reuse and interoperability on a distributed environment such as the Semantic Web. The functionality and design of the RTM and the results from testing this prototype with a few ontologies are presented and analyzed in this paper.

Why is the USS Arizona Underwater?
The USS Arizona is the resting place to hundreds of sailors. The Navy decided to leave them and the ship there after an inspection a few months after the attack. It was determined that there was so much damage taht the ship was a total loss and could not be salvaged. Though, it should be noted that some parts from the Arizona were taken for use on other ships during WWII.
After deciding that the ship could not be salvaged, was not a navigation risk and would be left where she was, the Navy had a decision about what to do with the men who perished on board. It was decided that the men would be considered buried at sea because it would be too difficult to remove them in a respectful manner.
The decision to leave the USS Arizona underwater at the bottom of Pearl Harbor was made after much deliberation. The same decision was made for the USS Utah. The USS Oklahoma was similarly sunk in the attack, but raised and put in drydock in 1943. In 1944, the USS Oklahoma was decommissioned. She eventually sunk to the bottom of the ocean as she was towed to the US mainland. All of the other ships sunk or damaged during the attack were returned to service.

Commercial gas meters are chargeable and here at DS Gas we offer some of the best prices around, which is coupled with support and advice to help you along the way.
GAS METER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
In most cases, installing a gas meter tends to involve some background checks to confirm the gas pipe to which a meter would be fitted is suitable.
A commercial site also requires a gas supplier prior to fitting the meter. At DS Gas we can help with both of these elements at no extra charge.
WHAT AFFECTS THE COST OF INSTALLATION?
The cost of a gas meter installation varies depending on the size of the meter required. These vary greatly and start at a U6 (also known as a BK-G6 or G4). A U6 can usually deliver a peak demand / maximum consumption of 64 kW.
Meters then increase in size to a U16, U25, U40, U65, U100, U160 and continue up to much larger bespoke meters, with specially designed gas meter rigs often required.
ESTIMATE PRICE DETAILS
At DS Gas, a U6 meter will start at around the £152.60 mark (low pressure meter only) and increase according to the size of meter required and any other special requirements, such as meter housing / kiosk, concrete base, automated meter reading, or converter.
Medium pressure meters are more expensive due to increased danger and the engineer skills required to manage higher pressure gas installations.

Hi, I am trying to plot a voltage data vs time data (HH:MN:SS) from a Datetime, but when I build the graph the x-axis always take the Year data (Dec 31, 1899).
I have tried modified the Datetime and the axis parameters, but always get this info.
How can I only display Hour:Minutes:Seconds? The year info is not important for me.
Thanks.

Yes, that too. A MATLAB datetime doesn't exist without an associated date and time.
Unlike the venerable and deprecated datenum or an Excel date that are both represented as a julian date in a double where the whole portion of the value represents days and the non-integer part the fractional portion of a 24-hour day, the datetime is an object containing both a date and a time and the constructor for it will create a date from thin air if one isn't provided.
timeofday() does the equivalent conversion to a duration object as the alternative suggested -- the difference is the subtraction of the origin of the timeseries I suggested will give you a 0 origin irregardless of the actual time, timeofday will return the actual hours of the day of the datetime values.
Which is to use if not just the fixup of the display of the datae depends on situation.

Another case of TMW being too aggressive in hiding things from the end user inside graphics objects -- the year/date 'SecondaryLabel' property is hidden and is shown by default for all datetime axes.
Use
hAx=gca; % retrieve the current axes handle
hAx.XAxis.SecondaryLabel.Visible='off';
to make the year marker not be visible.
The alternative is to subtract the first time value of your datetime vector from all elements and convert to a duration and plot against it instead of the absolute time values.
dt=Time2-Time2(1); % convert to elapsed time; is a ML duration, not a datetime
plot(dt,v_bacteria)

Sulfites
(Sulfitos)
Sulfites are food preservatives that can cause breathing difficulties in some people with asthma. They are considered an "asthma trigger" for people who are susceptible to them because they bring on asthma symptoms such as cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath. Sulfites are used as a preservative in many food products to prevent them from spoiling. Some examples of products that contain sulfites include: wine, beer, dried fruits and vegetables, shrimp, and pickles.

THE NOTION OF RISK AND ITS PLACEMENT IN THE COMMERCIAL INSURANCE LAW
The article presents the notion of risk in the act on insurance activity, the adoption of which constitues an example of the absorption acquis. It has been noticed that the notional dispersion of risk present in the Polish law is inevitable even if certain connotations may bring about some reservations. A specific example of an implementation of the community law is the concept of placement of risk, which has two main functions in the Polish legal system: it is a connecting factor indicating relevant norms of competence and it serves as legal limitations for the supervisory body within the community freedom of rendering services. A review of the Polish legislation in this respect made the author to formulate remarks de lege ferenda.

How to retrieve organizations IP address
I am trying to create a visualization which shows the organization the IP address.
Check this link may help you
thanks @ylasri I am still very confused. is it possible for you to guide me step by step i want to get the ASN from an IP address which is in Log.
How are you ingesting your logs into elasticsearch ? filebeat or logatsh ?
Check this processor to have more ideas
*Depends on what is available in database_file :
 - If the GeoLite2 City database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , country_iso_code , country_name , continent_name , region_iso_code , region_name , city_name , timezone , latitude , longitude and location . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
 - If the GeoLite2 Country database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , country_iso_code , country_name and continent_name . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
 - If the GeoLite2 ASN database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , asn , organization_name and network . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
Try this example on Dev Console, you can combine multiple geoip processor to get what you need
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
 "description" : "Add geoip info",
 "processors" : [
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "ip"
 }
 },
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "ip",
 "target_field" : "geo_asn",
 "database_file" : "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"
 }
 }
 ]
}
PUT my-asn-logs
{
 "settings": {
 "number_of_shards": 1,
 "number_of_replicas": 0
 },
 "mappings": {
 "properties": {
 "timestamp": {
 "type": "date"
 },
 "ip": {
 "type": "ip"
 }
 }
 }
}
POST my-asn-logs/_doc?pipeline=geoip
{
 "@timestamp": "2020-10-10T10:10:10.000",
 "ip": "196.75.80.10"
}
GET my-asn-logs/_search
okay I will try and revert.Thanks
@ylasri Thank you how should i visualize this for example an ip address in the log matches with the asn so is it possible to create a visualization?
Yes all possible, all you need is :
1- Create an index pattern
2- Go to discover to search on your logs you will get ip and asn
3- You can create visualization (Example unique count of IP per ASN ... etc)
i created an index pattern
in discover it does show ip and asn
i want to create a visualization matching kibana sample log and the my-asn-log rest is working just fine
The data in kibana_sample_data_logs has been enriched using default properties
You need to reindex the data using a custom ingest pipeline to add properties like asn ...
Try this
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
 "description" : "Add geoip info",
 "processors" : [
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "clientip",
 "database_file": "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb",
 "target_field": "clientip_geo"
 }
 }
 ]
}
POST kibana_sample_data_logs/_update_by_query?pipeline=geoip
you will see a new field added
 "clientip_geo" : {
 "ip" : "111.58.155.54",
 "organization_name" : "Guangdong Mobile Communication Co.Ltd.",
 "asn" : 9808
 },

yep one step closer but when i try to build the visualization the fields that are added are not displayed inside the table are not being displayed
Go to index pattern and refresh it
Thank you so much for your effort, time,help and patience. :smiley: :+1:

Massive Animal Feces

Massive Animal Feces
Massive Animal Feces.png
Everyone Poops. Can provide nitrogen to help crops grow in their plots. Would be more efficient fertilizer if combined with thatch in Compost Bin.
Type Feces
Nitrogen 35000
Excreted by Titanosaur
Consumable (values pertain to Humans)

Massive Animal Feces are the special excrements currently only produced by Titanosaur in ARK: Survival Evolved. From time to time, they automatically drop from these creatures. If you eat this you will probably die.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Massive Animal Feces can be used as fertilizer and add 35,000 points to fertilization when they are put in the inventory of a Crop Plot.
They can be combined with Thatch in a Compost Bin to produce Fertilizer.
However, it is the only Feces which is partially not worth doing it, it would be better to directly insert them into Crop Plots, as a Fertilizer has less fertilization points (54,000) than 2 or 3 Massive Animal Feces separated (70,000 or 105,000). Therefore, it would be more efficient to combine any other animal feces with thatch to produce fertilizers. The only way it could be somewhat efficient to combine it into fertilizer is if one would use a single Massive animal Feces with 2 other smaller variants. (Excluding two Large Animal Feces or one Large Animal Feces and one Medium Animal Feces, as the sum of their separated fertilization points would still be greater than the Fertilizer's)
Unlike the other size variations of feces, as of Patch 243.2, Massive Animal Feces cannot be used for taming Dung Beetles. However, they can be converted by the Dung Beetles, given a high enough weight stat, into 16 bags of Fertilizer and 14 Oil per feces.[1]

Quality of life, health, and government perception during COVID-19 times: Data from Colombia
This analysis presents data collected through an online survey about the quality of life, health, subjective wellbeing, and government perception in four cities in Colombia during the COVID-19 crisis.
Four universities and a local newspaper promoted the survey to assess how the pandemic affected the population's quality of life in a broad range of social and economic aspects. Respondents were adults (+18 years old) living in the largest Colombia cities: Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla, totaling 1637 complete observations. Researchers used snowballing sampling strategy, social networks, a web page, and an advertisement in the partner newspaper for data collection.
This data set helps to conduct social research and policy reports about the consequences of the pandemic. The data enclosed in this paper includes socio-economic variables, income reduction, employment, household composition, teleworking, indebtedness, physical and mental health, physical activity behavior, subjective wellbeing, affective and communal relationships, institutional trust, and perception of government performance during COVID-19.
We aim at contributing to a better understanding of the consequences of the pandemic in Colombia and general in the Global South through the collection and dissemination of data for academic and policy purposes.

The dimensions of LEGO brick are documented well, but what about DUPLO bricks? If have only found the general statements that DUPLO is twice as large as LEGO but no exact numbers. What about the thickness of walls and the space that must be subtracted at each side (0.2mm for LEGO), is it also just doubled?. If you compare the bottom of a LEGO 2x4 brick and a DUPLO 2x4 brick, there are also additional small walls that I have not found documented.
Update: Some dimensions of a DUPLO brick can be derived from the dimensions of a LEGO brick, which have been documented by Robert Cailliau among others:
Above and below a DUPLO 2x2 brick one can put two LEGO 2x4 bricks (or four 2x2 LEGO bricks). The outer walls of such stack seem to align perfectly, so the width and length of a DUPLO 2x2 brick is equal to the width of a LEGO 2x4 brick, which is 31.8mm (32mm-0.2mm). By putting DUPLO and LEGO side by side, one can also see that the DUPLO height without studs is twice of the size in LEGO (19.2mm). The LEGO studs below the DUPLO brick touch DUPLO walls, so DUPLO wall thickness is the same as LEGO wall thickness (either before spline walls were introduced to LEGO bricks or LEGO wall thickness plus the length of LEGO splines), which is 1.5mm. The DUPLO tube height is the height of the brick minus the height of a LEGO stud (which is somewhere between 1.6mm and 1.8mm). I'd better use the larger value, so the tubes start 1.8mm above the floor of the brick. From the top, LEGO tubes fit into DUPLO studs, so the stud inner diameter should equal to 6.51mm (8*√2 - 4.8$). But if you carefully look inside a DUPLO stud, this fitting is only achieved by four additional lugs that give a minimal inner diameter around 6mm to facilitate snapping into.
The remaining dimension include:
- stud outer diameter
- stud height
- tube inner diameter (but DUPLO tubes are not fully circular inside on a closer look!)
- tube outer diameter (also occurs at some other elements for instance as stem at #6510)
- spline length
Spline length can be derived from wall width and stud outer diameter. Tube outer diameter and stud outer diameter can also be computed from each other. So basically three dimensions are left to be explained. Comments and insights are welcome how more of the remaning dimensions can be derived from standard LEGO/DUPLO dimensions.


How to charge a Kindle Fire from a power outlet in Jordan
A guide showing how to power a Kindle Fire with a Jordanian power outlet with micro USB Type B cord and a three pinned Type B USB charger, how to recharge a Kindle Fire using a 3 pinned Type G power plug and charging a Kindle Fire using a Europlug Type C USB adapter
Jordanian power outlet
Different combinations of standards and sockets can often be daunting when planning on visiting another country to the first time traveller. With only a handful of different types of sockets being used throughout the world this guide shows exactly what to pick up in advance to power the Kindle Fire . This page is a step by step guide telling you exactly how to charge your Kindle Fire when you're travelling to Jordan using their Type G, B, C, D, F or J Jordanian 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets, Type G power outlets will be typically used by a majority of Jordanians. When visiting Jordan from another country please check that your Kindle Fire can be used with a 240 volt supply. If the Kindle Fire was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) check that the Kindle Fire is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power transformer to prevent the device from being damaged whilst powering it up.
This list of instructions shows how to connect the Jordanian power outlet to your Kindle tablet. This page assumes you have installed the most recent version of Fire OS for the Kindle, if you don't visit Amazon for the latest Kindle Fire update to ensure you have the most up-to-date fixes for your Kindle. Go to the Amazon.com site for the Kindle Fire device support [2] for more information.
Charging a Kindle Fire in Jordan
Can you use a Kindle Fire in Jordan?
Yes, you can use a Kindle Fire in Jordan by using a power convertor.
What is the best power adapter for recharging a Kindle Fire in Jordan?
When travelling with more than your Kindle Fire and visiting multiple countries the best travel adapter for Jordan to buy is a multiple USB port charger which includes swappable plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. There are six different standards of wall outlets that Jordanians use (types G, B, C, D, F and J) and using a power charger like this ensures that you are covered for both types C and G.
As these types of chargers are supplied with interchangeable pins and can handle from 100 volts - 240 volts it makes them ideal for over 100 countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa simply by switching the included heads over. If your Kindle Fire is compatible with Fast Charge then you'll benefit from faster recharging times by using one of these power adapters, along with support for certain power hungry devices like tablets.
Having a 4 port charger will also allow you to charge multiple devices at once without needing to buy multiple travel chargers for your trip. By only bringing a single travel charger will also keep the overall weight and size down, making it perfect to fold up and store in hand luggage. Because of their space saving versatility these types of adapters can be used when you return home as well as abroad so when you're not travelling they can be used overnight charging multiple smartphones and tablets without using up an additional power outlet.
We recommend searching for a multipurpose travel adapter like this online, the power charger illustrated here is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been tested successfully with multiple USB devices in numerous different countries around the world with good reliably.
Alternative travel adapter for Jordan
The 4 port USB travel charger is the most compact option for travellers from around the world who only have USB devices such as the Kindle Fire, however for visitors also wanting to use their domestic plugs the following power adapters provide larger but more versatile solutions. All 3 power converters offer surge protection which is crucial for visitors of counties with unreliable or unstable power grids to prevent damage to any connected devices. These power adapters come with interchangeable type C, I and G plugs covering Continental Europe, North America, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, China and over 150 countries around the world:

Angular 2 – How to get template reference variable or directive instance inside component
In this post let us see how to get Angular 2 directive/child component instance inside the parent component class.
ViewChild in action
The ViewChild decorator can be used to achieve this requirement.
The ViewChild accepts either the directive type or the template reference variable as argument and set the directive instance to the target property after the view get initiated.
@Component({
 selector: 'child-cmp',
 template: '
child
'
})
class ChildCmp {
 doSomething() {}
}
@Component({
 selector: 'some-cmp',
 template: '<child-cmp></child-cmp>',
 directives: [ChildCmp]
})
class SomeCmp {
 @ViewChild(ChildCmp) child:ChildCmp;
 ngAfterViewInit() {
 // child is set
 this.child.doSomething();
 }
}
The ViewChild will set the target property once the component view get rendered hence accessing the property before the view get initiated will return inappropriate result.
You can use the ngViewAfterInit lifecycle hook to identify the view initialization.
Argument as Directive type vs template variable
Using argument as template variable ViewChild is best from my point of view as it will provide access to specific directive instance when having more than one directive in the template.
@Component({
 selector: 'some-cmp',
 template: '<child-cmp #child></child-cmp>',
 directives: [ChildCmp]
})
class SomeCmp {
 @ViewChild('child') child:ChildCmp;
 ngAfterViewInit() {
 // child is set
 this.child.doSomething();
 }
}

DOM creation and manipulation tips and tricks
In this post, I would like to share a simple DOM creation and manipulation technique which will provide some performance boost.
The goal of this post is to improve browser DOM manipulation performance by reducing unwanted reflow and repaint process. If you are unaware of them you should go through the below topic before getting started with this post.
Reflow and repaint
Use Document fragment
This is an already known technique. Using document fragment allow the separation of DOM creation from live document so that it will avoid unnecessary browser reflow and repaint.
var fragment= document.createDocumentFragment();
fragment.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
Clone nodes
Cloning already created element using cloneNode. This will be helpful when creating large number of same element. Mostly likely it can be used while creating table tr elements from JSON.
var fragment= document.createDocumentFragment();
var div = document.createElement("div");
fragment.appendChild(div.cloneNode(false));
Batch DOM update
Always batch the DOM update. Batch the DOM changes will reduce browser reflow and repaint.
Using requestAnimationFrame for DOM changes
This technique will provide a considerable performance when changing the live document. requestAnimationFrame will be used to update the DOM changes when the next reflow/repaint happens.
Normally it is introduced to do smooth animation experience in browser but here we can use this to do a single DOM update.
requestAnimationFrame(function(){
 document.body.appendChild( document.createElement("div") );
});
Use insertAdjacentHTML instead of innerHTML
This will be used when we need to append dynamic content to the same element.
We can use the innerHTML as follows.
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML ="Hi" //
Hi

div.innerHTML += " Dude"; //
Hi Dude

But the above one have significant performance impact as it needs to re-parse all the child element already present.
To overcome this we can use insertAdjacentHTML which will append the inner HTML without touching the other elements. It only parses the new HTML need to be appended.
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = "Hi"; //
Hi

div.insertAdjacentHTML("afterend", " Dude"); //
Hi Dude

Following the above methods will provide a better performance in most of the modern browsers.
Happy scripting….
Replace () as call back function
We know that the replace() method will return a new string based on the pattern and its corresponding replacement argument.
Here the pattern can be either general string or regular expression that we normally use. And for replacement argument in most cases we use string as replacement. But there is an extensible facility to use this replacement as call back function.
Here we go with a small example code snippets.
Code Snippets:
var numbers = '34 55 27 45 72',
type1 = numbers.replace(/\d+/g, '*'),
type2 = numbers.replace(/\d+/g, function (item) {
return +item < 50 ? '*' : item;
});
console.log("simple replace() : ", type1);
console.log("replace() with call back function : ", type2);
Fiddle Demo
Note:
The call back function will be invoked for the each matched set of an item, when the first parameter regular expression is declared as global.
Deleter – Node based directory removing tool
My first node package deleter, has been released. Its a CLI, which is used to remove directories. I come up with idea to create this when i faced difficulties in deleting node_modules from my node based applications.
Installation
npm install deleter -g
Since it is a CLI, global installation is preferred.
Usage
deleter <directory-name>
Example
deleter node_modules
Limitations
For now, its target for windows operating system and other OS will be considered in upcoming updates.

Why new keyword should be used while instantiating JavaScript class
The new keyword is used to instantiate prototypical class or other objects. But why we need new keyword to initialize it, when you to try to initialize it without new will not throw any error at all then why should I use new before my class to instantiate it.
The answer is simple new keyword will set the 'this' to the new object created using function instead of global scope".
If you didn't provided new keyword then the context will be set to window(global scope).
You can see the difference in the below code example.
var fn = function (){
 this.a = 2;
 return this;
}
Instantiating fn without new keyword.
 var f = fn(); //'this' refers window here.
Instantiating fn with new keyword.
 var f = new fn(); //'this' refer object created by 'fn' here.
Even though using new keyword is the best practice to instantiate class, most of the time, the users will skip them as it doesn't provide any error at all.
We can use the below simple workaround to enforce the instantiating process using new keyword. Then the above fn will become as below.
 var fn = function (){
 if(!(this instanceof fn)) //workaround to resolve this problem.
 return new fn();
 this.a = 2;
 return this;
}
Now instantiating without new will also set this to the current object.
 var f = fn(); //this refer to fn here.
Instantiating class/function without new keyword in ES6 will throw TypeError.
Happy Scripting… 🙂
Some alternative use of bit wise operators
In this blog, I am just going to share some of the alternative use of the bitwise operators.
1. Replace Math.floor with double ~~.
Even though JavaScript Math library is well optimized, we can use the bitwise operators to reduce some keystrokes.
~~3.4 //result : 3
2. Convert to Boolean using !!
Double NOT operator is used to convert any type into Boolean.
var d = &quot;Hi&quot;;
!!d //result : true
var f = null;
!!f //result : false
3. Swap values without temp variable using XOR.
It is the one of the common method used to swap two variables without using temp variable.
var a = 5, b= 6;
a ^= b; b ^= a; a ^= b; //result a = 6, b = 5;
4. Using left and right shift with 1 bit to perform multiply and division.
Left shifting a number 1 bit is equivalent to the result obtained by multiplying it by 2 and right shifting 1 bit is equivalent to dividing it by 2.
var d = 4, f = 6;
d >> 1 //result : 4 * 2 = 8
f << 1 //result : 6 / 2 = 3
5. Checking odd/even
